Recent archaeological discoveries within the Upper Tigris region in Southeastern Turkey offer a unique opportunity to understand the dynamics of the Assyrian Empire borderlands. Within a few years most of the region will be irreversibly submerged, due to the construction of the Ilisu dam, the biggest hydroelectric power plant project in Turkey. It is of paramount importance to understand and record as much data as possible about the local communities and the foreign connections that flowered in this area.

This volume presents the proceedings of the workshop ‘Archeologia a Firenze: Città e territorio’. The sessions, organized in chronological order – from prehistoric to medieval topics – are supplemented by contributions concerned with conservation and enhancement of the historic landscape.
